 P.O.W.
|
here i am
alone again
burning poems
and breaking promises
sometimes i believe
i might have some answers
but i don’t
i’m a prisoner
of an enemy within
interrogated and tortured
toyfully released
on my own recognizance
for another month or two
now i walk broken streets
bearing hideous scars
of undeclared wars
scarlet ridges on my body
deep, black trenches
in my soulNorfolk, Virginia ‘87
